DD age 9 - loves painting, copying drawing techniques off TV, diamond art, paint by colours, shrink art, bead sets

DS age 6 - loves drawing animals, painting

We have lovely pencils and pens, basic paints, fabric pens, card and craft basics. Willing to put £50 into this and might use Temu (I know I know, but not sure this is any worse than Amazon).

I want to make an epic craft pack for the summer - we’re not going away so want something special. I’m thinking water colour set, maybe a cutting machine, stone painting. What are your winners? Hopefully helpful to others!

Just popping on to say Temu all the way for crafting things! Way cheaper than Amazon but you do have to wait for it to arrive.

I volunteer for a local charity which involves crafting and pretty much all of us stock up via Temu.

@DinoLil amazing, thank you. It was a brownie leader who suggested it. Said it’s the same stuff as amazon but a fraction of the price

For something bright and versatile, I’d suggest checking out Mondo Llama craft kits or marker sets—they’re great for kids and come with lots of colors. Stone painting is a winner, and maybe add some watercolor paper, stencils, and a few themed craft packs for variety.
